    Premium Rolex Explorer Watches: Certified Second Hand, Vintage & Unworn

    Tried & True: Rolex goes to places where few brands only dream of going. The stories behind the introduction of each collection are as fascinating as their specific characteristic, making it difficult for others to surpass the new-set new records. On the one hand, Rolex creates the most refined timepieces, and on another, tests the limits by engaging with tough-to-achieve projects. The Explorer is the result of one such memorable expedition!

    The story began in 1952 when the dauntless explorers needed a watch to withstand the harshest conditions. The Swiss Maison has always received objectives from the public and considered their feedback to improve design, precision, durability, and quality. Rolex was adamant about sending their creation to the peak of the mighty Mount Everest, so in 1953, they equipped climbers Sir Edmund Hillary and his team with Oyster Perpetual watches.

    To celebrate the momentous occasion, Rolex launched the ‘Explorer’ as a fitting tribute to the adventurer’s bold spirit. Since then, collectors have always sought the stunning Explorer pieces. At The Luxury Hut, we have a vast inventory of pre-owned Rolex Explorer watches, including vintage, rare, and special edition models.

    No matter what model you’re looking for, we’re sure you will find something that meets your preference. You can rest assured of getting the best quality second-hand watches at the best price. You can browse our online collection or book an appointment to visit us at our Hatton Garden store for a more personal shopping experience. We’ll be happy to assist you all along!

    What Makes Rolex Explorer so Special

    Rooted in the spirit of exploration, the Rolex Explorer was conceived in the 1950s as a tool for adventurers and mountaineers. The watches are meticulously crafted from high-grade stainless steel and precious materials and feature an iconic design, easily recognisable by a clean white or black dial with luminous markers, the distinctive 3-6-9 indicators and the triangle at 12. Although all references vary in calibre movements, the visual appeal stays roughly the same, except for the dials, case size and bracelets.

    This mighty collection is split into two versions: the Rolex Explorer I and Explorer II. While they share the same name, each has differences in visual aesthetics and functionality. The Explorer II watches feature a highlighted date display and a fixed bezel with 24-hour graduations. While this watch was once the choice for polar explorers and volcanologists, it has now become a popular fashion and functional choice from the Rolex catalogue.

    Both new and vintage Explorer models are highly prized among collectors and enthusiasts. Choose from a number of certified pre-owned Rolex Explorer watches here at The Luxury Hut, where you’ll find both Explorer and Explorer II watches at great prices.
